I think you mean winging. It's ironic as there was too much kicking in the second test and not enough of North Cuthbert and Folau.

Everyone knows the Aussies can't play in rain. They are hopeless at it.

I was always under the impression that label applied to the English and was used banteringly in cricket as well as rugby, didn't realise it extended to the whole of Britain and Ireland?

If you want an example of real whingeing look no further than the Aussie press reaction to the first test. And the reaction on Saturday afternoon (BST) once we roll 'em over Whistle

NZ generally has plenty of rain - we export it in the form of milk and wine.
